Earlier this week my boyfriend and I had the opportunity to spend a couple of days in Yosemite, a veritable cathedral of nature.  True vacations, with an absence of technology and worldly connection, are rare for us, and the whole experience was a real treat.

Our stay there may have been brief (one evening, one full day, and one half day; far too short!!!), but I got the chance to do a little painting to break in my new sketchbook in between hiking trips.  This is part of the mountain that makes up the gorgeous Half Dome (this is a bit of the south side, I think?), as viewed from Mirror Lake (which, it should be noted, is actually mostly a meadow in the summer – much to the surprise of my bathing-suit-clad and towel-toting boyfriend and I).
